Piquet is generally regarded as the best of card games for two players.
It is played with a pack of thirty-two cards, which is called a "piquet
pack," all below the seven being excluded. The cards rank in Whist
order--ace, king, queen, knave, ten, nine, eight, seven.
The score is made partly by combinations of cards held in the hand, and
partly by points marked in the course of play.
